If you ever paid attention to Io's colors, you would realize their choice of yellow is very intentional. Its sulphur, and on Io its -blam!-in everywhere.
Io IRL is apparently super volcanic, with several active volcanoes, but thats not all. You see, lava high in sulphur BURNS PURPLE! (google "purple lava" youll see what i mean) So theres virtually no reason why Io's patrol zone shouldnt have a volcanic area with purple lava pouring out. It would look so cool contrasting with the yellow earth, it would actually make Io a visually stimulating place.

1 ReplyFrom Bungie and Lore perspective: Traveler terraformed it. my though exactly when i first arrive on Venus: “Where’s the deadly sulfur!? Where’s the heat!?”

1 ReplyThere are some sulphur, and suphur dioxide volcanic eruptions on Io. However the vast magority of volcanic eruptions are basaltic. Io has a high level of sulphur in it's crust, thus the yellow,

1 ReplyMyself, I would like to see wildlife on the EDZ, it is earth. And maybe some made up indigenous creatures on the other planets. Yes, probably a bit too much to ask for and it would probably add another 20 gig to the game, LOL, but one can dream.

man i wish i could see purple everyone says it’s a soothing color

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_(moon)#/media/File:Io_highest_resolution_true_color.jpg No purple. ...and the Vulcanism on Io is due to a different mechanism than you find here on Earth or Venus. Its created on Io by the internal heat generated by Jupiter's massive gravitational field on the moon and its core.

Please note that the travelers TERRAFORMED IT. JEBUS

2 RepliesIo was partially Terraformed by the Traveler. He was forced to leave its work at some point to rescue humanity from the Darkness. Probably that's why Io isn't as you know it and how you would like it to be.

1 ReplyIO is utterly boring and bad. Though most of D2 planets are in comparison to D1. Obviously it seems like a waste of time but making IO a more interesting planet would do wonders. So I think some purple lava, volcanoes and other changes on IO would be a warm welcome. though obviously it'll never happen.

They did that on Venus

There is plenty of reasons it should be different. The vex have vastly changed the environment.
